Pump-n-Go in Pompano
If you live in a part of the Pompano area that does not connect to a municipal water supply, then you know your well pump is your lifeline. The heart of your plumbing system, the pump delivers fresh water to your taps and appliances. When your well pump is working smoothly, it’s easy to take it for granted, but when problems arise, we are soon reminded of the vital role flowing water plays in everything we do.
Service Minds Benjamin Franklin Plumbing believes no household should be denied access to clean water, so we train our technicians in every aspect of well pump repair:
Common Well Pump Issues
- Controller: A malfunctioning controller can lead to the pump failing to start or cycle properly, causing inconsistent water flow or a complete system shutdown.
- Pressure Tank: Issues here can cause fluctuations in water pressure, leading to variable and unreliable water delivery.
- Pressure Switch: A broken pressure switch cannot tell the pump when to turn on and off based on water pressure levels. This can result in the pump running excessively, driving up energy costs, or not running at all, leaving your taps dry.
- Water Line: Leaks or breaks in the water line between the well and your home or business can disrupt water flow and potentially contaminate your water supply.
- Check Valve: The check valve prevents water from flowing back into the well after the pump shuts off. If it fails, you could experience pressure problems and potential well contamination.
Get the Jump on Pump Maladies
Well pumps are efficient machines, but they are not foolproof. They are made up of dozens of moving parts, any of which can break, wear out, or become misaligned at any time. Our team is ready to spring into action whenever you notice your pump missing a beat:
- Inconsistent Flow: Water pressure fluctuates unpredictably, sometimes dropping mid-shower.
- Weak Stream: Low water pressure results in sluggish showers and feeble flushes.
- Visible Leaks: Puddles or dampness around your well head may indicate leaks in the pump system or pipelines.
- Bubbles: Air spurting from faucets could signal a malfunctioning pressure tank or a leak.
- Contamination: Discolored, cloudy water or water with a metallic taste may indicate a breach in well pump components.
- Continuous Operation: A well pump that won’t stop running could be due to a faulty pressure switch.
- Sediment: Sand or sediment in your water might mean impurities in the well or a failing pump filter.
- No Flow: If the pump runs but no water comes out, the pump could be clogged, the motor may be failing, or the pressure switch might be burnt out.
- Short Cycling: Rapid on-off cycles of the pump point to a pressure switch issue or a major pump failure.
- Increased Utility Bills: An inefficient pump uses more power and may lead to higher electricity and water bills.
